Worktop repair in Little Barugh, done in place

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. We regularly repair granite & marble, solid wood and laminate, and common reasons people get in touch are scorch marks from pans and cuts and scratches in the surface.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Little Barugh, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Little Barugh

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should you replace it?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
